Yes please. Not too familiar with overclocking settings and all of the BIOS settings on this board. What ever you and pcnazz recommend i will look it over and try it out.

90c is high , I don't like that at all ! Address your cooling because that will hold you back . I suggest you do not try for more then 4.0Ghz with the temps you have now . 4.0Ghz is a respectable frequency and will give you fine over all performance . I would like to see you lower your temps and until then lets try to get 3.6Ghz 100% stable for you . If that is okay with you let me know . I could right you a book on over clocking but slow and steady wins the race . Over clocking safely is the #1 priority . A bit of information zoo81 is you only have with a i7 920 X20 cpu multi ratio with Turbo disabled . Leave Turbo disabled and use X20 cpu multi ratio hard set in your bios . When Turbo is enabled that x21 cpu multi ratio is only good for one core and is useless for overclocking in my opinion . If you would like to zoo81 you can run p95 to test for stability . It is less stressful then LinX and you will see lower temps when its running but I believe it will declare your over clock stable for you , not as stable as a LinX stable rig .
